Swim Stroke Development Program
Swimming Harder Can Make You Slower.
Swimming Better Makes You Faster!
Building on the success of last winter’s Intro to Triathlon Swimming Program, Triathlon Manitoba will offer these new sessions designed for triathletes keen to improve their efficiency and performance at the start of every triathlon event.
Coached sessions will take place once-a-week on Monday evenings, from 8-9pm at the Pan Am Pool (in parallel with our regular Swim Program). Athletes will be given a second workout to do on their own each week, to reinforce the coached lessons and achieve the desired progression throughout the program.
Athletes will receive on-deck training from experienced coaches Christine McKinley and Patrick Peacock. Sessions will run for 9 weeks from October 21st to December 16th (Nov 11 will not have a coached swim due to the holiday). The program will also include video capture sessions, allowing athletes to have direct feedback on stroke mechanics and improvements made throughout the program.
Target Audience:
– Athletes with prior experience of triathlon swimming / racing, likely those who learned to swim as adults and looking to gain efficiency in their swimming
(our Intro to Triathlon Swimming will run again in Jan-Mar 2025 for newbies)
(if you don’t already have a pair, our coaches recommend this shorter style)
Registration space is limited.

2025 Kids of Steel Fall & Winter Program
Train like a Triathlete Year-Round!
Our Kids Fall & Winter Program runs November to April, providing young athletes with the opportunity to participate in sport specific workouts led by great coaches.
The program is targeted at youth 8 – 15 years of age (Birth years 2010 – 2018) to develop fitness and strength for all three sports.
Saturday sessions are intended for all athletes, taking place at Pan Am Pool from 9:00 to 11:00 am. Starting with a run fitness workout before moving to the pool for swim training.
New for this season, Wednesday sessions have been added this winter as an add-on option for youth athletes wanting to push their training to a next level. These sessions will take place at the downtown YM-YWCA from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. These sessions will including swim, bike and run training throughout the year.
Registration for Saturday-only sessions is $160 for six months. Registration for Saturday & Wednesday sessions is $300.
Annika Niblock and Darian Hole will continue as our program coaches.
Darian is a former MTC athlete, having competed as part of Team Manitoba at the 2013 Canada Summer Games, and he brings a wealth of experience from his years in the sport. Annika is a graduate of the TriMB Youth & MTC Programs, competed in triathlon at the 2019 Western Canada Summer Games and is currently pursuing a degree in Environmental Studies at U of M.
Our coaches are keen to help a next generation of athletes fall in love with triathlon by sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for our sport.
NOTE – While this program will help athletes develop better swim technique, it’s not intended to be a learn-to-swim program. All athletes should be able to comfortably complete 100m of steady swimming (enough to access the deep end in most local pools) before beginning the program.
A 2025 Triathlon Season membership must be purchased with each Kids Program Registration, which provides insurance for all workout participants, as well as a racing licence for the season ahead. The Kids of Steel memberships are $10, plus CCN processing fees.
